DJar

Easy browsing through JAR/ZIP archives

DJar is a Java application that lets you examine the content of a JAR/ZIP archive and to extract files from it with an intuitive, user-friendly interface.

In addition, in its classes you will find 3 JavaBeans useful to create your own jar-aware applications.

You need JDK 1.2 (Java Platform 2) or JRE 1.2 to run DJar or to use its beans.

The Beans

Future
I'm going to extend DJar with the ability of creating new archives, adding entries and setting attributes. The columns' sizes in the tables need some refinement, too. I just need some spare time to do this. Note: if you use Java 1.2 on Win32 and you have a mouse pointer with more than 2 colors, you will se some garbage around the pointer. This is a known Java 1.2 bug, not DJar's.

Th DJar official web page is located at http://members.tripod.com/darioscopesi/applets/djar/index.htm.

DJar was developed as an exercise on Swing, and is therefore free. You can use it, duplicate it, distribute it as long as you don't change a bit of it, including this documentation. You can use the provided beans as long as you mention my name in your project. I'm not responsible for any damage, loss or whatever the use of this software may provoke.

Enjoy!
